Old Time Ranch Christmas at Spring Mountain Ranch State Park

Saturday, December 17 1pm – 4pm

Did you ever notice that a lot of our beloved Christmas songs come from the 1940’s and 1950’s? That’s the same era during which our Ranch House Visitor Center was built here at Spring Mountain Ranch State park. It has seen sixty-seven Christmases as a family home, a place for high-class society parties, and as a state park. We continue this long Christmas tradition by inviting you and your family to join us and celebrate the holidays at our Old Time Ranch Christmas!
While the sun is up, there will be pine-cone crafts for kids of all ages, ornament-making, s’mores and hot cocoa, a live brass band playing Christmas music, a fire in the fireplace, and even a visit from Santa! After the sun goes down you can enjoy the scenery at SMRSP all dressed up with Christmas Lights!
Admission to Spring Mountain Ranch State Park is $7.00 / vehicle for Nevada residents, $9.00 for all others. There is no additional charge for this program

The annual Christmas wagon rides will begin this weekend and go through December 23rd. The hours are 4pm – 8pm. Admission is $2 per person and includes a wagon ride and a visit with Santa. Concessions will be sold separately.

Enjoy the Santa Tram on selected nights and let someone else do the driving with VIP Treatment that includes photos with Santa, kettle corn, hot cocoa, games and trains rides for the kids, and so much more!

The House on Robindale

If you thought the home at 1420 E. Robindale was a hypnotic experience, there’s a reason, it’s hypnotist Marc Savard’s home. This amazing light display, set to music captures the attention of the Valley each year. It’s a must see a worth the drive.

A holiday tradition for over 19 years, Mystic Falls Park will be decked out for the holidays with beautiful new holiday decor, an exciting all-new laser light show and will be making it snow in Vegas every night through the new year! The laser shows start daily at 5:00pm and continue every hour until 10:00pm.

In its 25th season, the Magical Forest is filled with millions of sparkling and endless holiday cheer. It opens nightly at 5:30 pm and is closed on Christmas Day.

The House on Fifth Street in Boulder City

Lights are on nightly at this Boulder City home that will compete in the The Great Christmas Light Fight on ABC set to air December 19. Homeowner Dale Ryan is often out and handing out candy to guests at the walk thru display.

This Henderson neighborhood is festive, fun and filled with spirit during the holiday season. It’s a tradition for our family to grab a cup of cocoa and drive through and see all the homes lit up with happiness. The neighborhood decorates with a Disney theme and often incorporates other popular childhood characters like Spider-Man as well. Neighboring homes often partake and are well lit and decorated too, so turn on your favorite Christmas music and drive around and enjoy the view.

*We have been told that several homes on Quiver Point are not participating this year but there are plenty of decorated homes around that neighborhood and still may be a worthwhile trip for your family.This has been a tradition for our family for many years so we’re sad to see that the neighborhood isn’t as festive.

The Eighth is for Hanukkah!

Join Downtown Summerlin December 27 – 29 for Menorah Lighting! The first lighting of the Menorah will be at 5:30 pm on December 27th. Find more details here.
